EEG recording and analysis

Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: obtaining EEG data from one or more single channel EEG sensor worn by a user; classifying, using a processor, the EEG data as one of nominal and abnormal; and providing an indication associated with a classification of the EEG data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring system comprising:
 four discrete unitary wireless EEG sensors configured to be placed in first, second, third, and fourth locations spaced around a patient's scalp and configured to each collect an EEG signal; and 
 a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
 automatically create 10-channels from the EEG signals including a channel from each of the four locations, and additional channels by, for each sensor, subtracting its corresponding EEG signal from the corresponding EEG signal of the remaining sensors to create a longitudinal transverse montage; 
 detect a seizure event based on the longitudinal transverse montage; and 
 provide information associated with the seizure event. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the at least one processor to cause one or more channels of the 10-channels to be displayed. 
     
     
       3. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the at least one processor to cause the longitudinal transverse montage to be displayed. 
     
     
       4. The system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the four discrete unitary wireless EEG sensors is configured to be placed on the patient's scalp at a left forehead, at a right forehead, behind a left ear, and behind a right ear, respectively. 
     
     
       5. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal transverse montage comprises channels F7, F8, TP9, TP10, F7-F8, F7-TP9, F7-TP10, F8-TP9, F8-TP10, and TP9-TP10. 
     
     
       6. The system of  claim 1  wherein the channels associated with each of the four locations comprise a single bipolar channel derived from two electrodes of each sensor. 
     
     
       7. A method for monitoring electroencephalogram (EEG) comprising:
 collecting EEG signals from four discrete wireless unitary EEG sensors placed on a patient' scalp; 
 transmitting the EEG signals to a remote device; and 
 with the remote device: 
 automatically creating a 10-channel longitudinal transverse montage from the EEG signals by bipolar derivation and, for each sensor, subtracting its corresponding EEG signal from the corresponding EEG signal of the remaining sensors to create the longitudinal transverse montage; 
 detecting a seizure event based on the longitudinal transverse montage; and 
 providing information associated with the seizure event, wherein providing information comprises displaying at least one EEG signal of the EEG signals. 
 
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 7 , wherein the discrete wireless unitary EEG sensors are placed in first, second, third, and fourth locations spaced around the patient's scalp. 
     
     
       9. The method of  claim 8 , wherein the first, second, third, and fourth locations comprise locations at a left forehead, at a right forehead, behind a left ear, and behind a right ear of the patient. 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 7 , wherein the longitudinal transverse montage comprises channels F7, F8, TP9, TP10, F7-F8, F7-TP9, F7-TP10, F8-TP9, F8-TP10, and TP9-TP10. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 7 , wherein each of the discrete wireless unitary EEG sensors is placed on a position on the patient's scalp corresponding to F7, F8, TP9, and TP10, respectively. 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 7 , wherein the discrete wireless unitary EEG sensors are spaced from one another to be over each eye and behind each ear. 
     
     
       13. The method of  claim 7 , wherein each of the discrete wireless unitary EEG sensors comprises two electrodes forming a single bipolar channel. 
     
     
       14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
 automatically create 10-channels from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals collected by four discrete unitary wireless EEG sensors in communication with the at least one processor and configured to be placed in first, second, third, and fourth locations spaced around a patient's scalp by, for each sensor, subtracting the corresponding EEG signal of the sensor from the corresponding EEG signal of the remaining sensors to create a longitudinal transverse montage; 
 detect a seizure event based on the longitudinal transverse montage; and 
 provide information associated with the seizure event. 
 
     
     
       15. The computer readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the instructions cause the at least one processor to cause one or more channels of the 10-channels to be displayed. 
     
     
       16. The computer readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the instructions cause the at least one processor to cause the longitudinal transverse montage to be displayed. 
     
     
       17. The computer readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein four channels of the 10-channels comprise a single bipolar channel derived from two electrodes of each discrete unitary wireless EEG sensor.
